JUN-Y CIAO / MATTHIAS KAISER - THE ROUGH FABRIC OF THE INNER CORE (CD)

"Let's start with the self-description of the two musicians behind "The Rough Fabric of the Inner Core , which they so generously shared with me: "Our music is harsh, radical, direct. The narration of the pieces is close to where the sounds originate, without cultivation or dressage. The playing on the instruments is the same: no sophisticated virtuosity, but what is created when handling the instruments is the source material. It's about the nucleus of music, the original power of sound.That sounds convincing at first. After all, this quickly explains the title of the release: "The Rough Fabric of the Inner Core. But that's not quite true, of course. You don't even have to have heard the music; the cover alone, with its two sound bodies rotating around themselves and at the same time in dialogue with each other (which can of course be read as reduced, objectified artist surrogate bodies; one strikingly colored yellow, the other subtly pink), points to the special appeal of the encounter between Jun-Y Ciao and Matthias Kaiser."
